Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are disclosed to assist in configuring devices and policies to protect a regional network (e.g., home network) and its users. Users on the network are monitored to determine appropriate configuration settings and preferences by utilizing a combination of internally configured information and externally gathered information for each user. For example, externally gathered information may include information obtained about a user from one or more social media Internet sites. Automatically obtained information may be used to provide or augment policy information such that a user's preference relative to internet content (e.g., content blocking software configuration) may be achieved without requiring an administrator to individually prepare each users security profile and configuration.

Abstract: Technologies for providing access control for a network are disclosed. The method may include receiving a request from a user to access a network, receiving a plurality of data associated with the user, the plurality of data comprising a plurality of social data associated with the user's relationship to a social circle, identifying an electronic security policy based at least on the plurality of social data, and authenticating the user to the network if the electronic security policy permits authentication based at least on the plurality of social data.

Abstract: Technologies for providing electronic security to a first network are disclosed. The system may include a user equipment, a gateway device configured to mediate communication between a first network and a second network for the user equipment, and an electronic security device communicatively coupled to the gateway device. The electronic security device may include a gateway interface module configured to assume an identity associated with the gateway device, a network interface module configured to present the identity to the second network, and a traffic inspection module configured to monitor traffic without substantially affecting a topology of the first network, wherein the electronic security device is configured to identify undesirable traffic; and implement a security policy.
